In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
In the world. II runs 100 miles north and
south and twenty. five miles east and west,
and is owned and operated by a syndicate
Of northern capitalists. Their general
manager, ]. b. Watkins, gives an inter-
esting account OF this gigantic plantation,
which throws the great Dalrymple farm
OF Dakota into the shade completely.
He was cornered by a reporter at the St.
James hotel last night aud asked to give
the particulars Of his gigantic enterprise.
"The million and a half acres of land In

Unfortunate King Otto.

Crazy King Otto Of Bavaria still remains
confined within the grounds OF his royal
prison Of Turstenried. He reads all the
newspapers he can get hold OF with
avidity, but Of course the doctors take
care nothing reaches his hands which
shall tend to upset his mental equilibrium
and make him excited. He takes great
interest in the royal kitchen, and often
times slips down stairs into the culinary
department, examines the pots and pans,
and now and again experiments IN the
concoction Of tidbits and dainty dishes
with more or less success. Quite recently
he burned his fingers while engaged in
this somewhat unkingly pursuit. The poor
fellow is very anxious 10 see his capital,
and when he, while driving in the grounds
Of the palace, catches a glimpse OF the
spires and chimDeys OF Munich he i'm
plores the servants TO take lin there.
But they have strict orders from the
medical staff TO do nothing Of the kind,
and 30 they are compelled TO take no
notice OF their royal masters entreaties.

Archer and the Surgeon.

Archer, having been bitten or otherwise

on Sir James Paget. The eminent sur-

requested To know how long il would take

Archer.

The famous surgeon, on learning the
status Of his visitor, was ut once greatly
interested and asked him eagerly many
questions, among others; What would be

Archer replied; about I 2,OOO' His

II was a little hard on DR.. Holmes that
one of the papers in hisown Boston should
turn npon him for reserying his Harvard
poem to publish in The Atlantic and say
OF him that ''there is a Yankee thrift
about this turning Of poems for public
occasions into money which is hardly in

why the poet should bestow the offspring

JACOB sHARPE's SENTENCE.

The long and bitter trial OF wsiinY In
Jacob Shapes case has ended, and his
sentence has been pronounced at the
hands Of his judge. 1t matters little to
the really interested In this verdict. the
people of great city and the citizens OF
great nation, that q motion for stay
of proceedings has been granted and
that no efforts will be spared to secure
IAN appeal to the higher courts. This
verdict is instant and direct. II is the
|, legal issue Of the attempt to bride, In
its relations to courts and juries and
penalties for the Offense, that interests.
Is is the question OF legal condemnation
or acquittal OF man Of large wealth
and vast influence for crimes too long
considered venial. Ii is the determina-
tion OF the muoh-mooted point, whether
or no there be any limit to the corrupt
ing power OF money In its influence
upon legislatures and municipal
councils-at least suoh Limitation
as can be made effectusl in
preventing all attempted bribery and
corruption for the future. In deciding
this case, Judge Barrett has regard to
the equities Of the case rather than to
the mere technecslities OF testimony.
Upon the plain and unmistakaOle prop
osilion that the stream cannot rise
higher than its source, the judge con-
cluded it absurd to hold u doubt of the
prisoners guilt, inasmuch as he was the
head and moving cause OF the whole
arrangement, whereby half million
dollars was raised to corrupt the state
legislature, from whose act the prisoner
reaped the immense profit of nearly
million dollars. The fact that neither
the age OF the prisoner, his social posi-
tion, or his enfeebled health had any mitI-
eating effect in influencing a lighter
sentence may be taken as evidence
OF the fact that the time has
gone by in New York for condo
ming such offences against legislative
purity, municipal honesty, asd the
rights of citizens as Mr.. Sharp has been
adjudged guilty Of. The severe sentence
OF four years at hard labor and q 5000
fine will be such as to strike terror TO
the minds OF municipal oorruptienists in
New York. The judge merely replied TO
the appeals for a light sentence, that it
was a case for justice and not for mercy.
The action Of Judge Barrett in this mat
ter will be commended by the judgment
of all right thinking people, even though
their sympsthies be enlisted for an old
man who has passed his three score and
ten years and is reported by his physi-
clans as totteriDg on the verge Of the
grave under the pressure Of mortal msla-
dies. Jacob Sharp may NOS serve out
his sentence, but the sentence lie there
as a matter Of record with all its accom-
psnying circumstances, terror unto the
uture eorruptionists.
